Sullivan VS.. Cardiff.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 25.-Just be-
fore Sullivan left for the East last night, ar
ticles were signed which specify John l..
Sullivan and Patsy Cardiff shall box six
rounds according to the revised Queensbury
rules, the winner to take seventy-fve per
cent. of the net receipts, and that Cardiff
shall not appear in any glove contest before
the meeting, and that the day and place of
meeting shall be left to p. f. Sheedy to be
named before June 1st. Sullivan said last
night to a reporter: "My arm bothers me
considerable, but have today succeeded in
getting my coat on for the first time | think
my arm will be well enough so can use it to
spar by the first of March, but shall not be
able TO meet Cardiff if he comes to time be-
fore May. I'm not going to tackle him or
any of these big fellows until am sure of
its being entirely we'll" Being asked his
opinion of Cardiff, Sullivan replied: 81
don't think as a fighter he amounts to con-
tinental. Do you suppose if l had been in
his place and saw mans arm hanging by
his side that wouldn't have made pause
and found out what was the matter with it {?
lie ran about the ring like big coward. His
blowing about drawing blood ON my mouth
is a lie, and he knows it. Then he is no
gentleman. That night in the ring he in
suited me by calling me vile names. If |
ever meet him again I'll recall those insults
to his mind before get through with him.

Back OF Simonton's Corner lay two farms
OIL about 100 acres Of land each. About 30
acres of this land Is included In a large
knoll or hill In which are two fine quarries
which furnish quality OF limerick that
makes the whitest, finest and best Of lime
The real estate Of these two farms Is owned
by S. Il. Il III. l.. Shepherd. On one Of the
farms-the COOmbs farm, so called the rock
Is owned jointly by Carleton, Norwood Il
Co and s. II. 81 III. l.. Shepherd, while the
rock on the ThOrndike farm, so called, is the
Shepherds. The CarletOns own and operate
the SimOntOn quarry and the Carletons and
Shepherds the COOmbs quarry adjoining.
The two firms from these two quarrie5 took
out rising 10000 casks of rock last year.
The quarries are so situated that they are
easy Of access, and but little pumping Is re-
quired. In the COOmbs quarry no pumping
Is necessary, while In the Simonton quarry
they are on their first pumping head. There
is very little earth on the rock, and careful
prospecting all over the farms shows that
the supply Of first quality rock is inexhaust-
ible. These two firms, Carleton, Norwood
wood IL Co. and S. Il. q III. l.. Shepherd,
have manufacturing capacity OF 1900 casks
of lime daily, which with their ample shore
privileges will doubtless be increased with
in a short time.

Report of the Committee to investi-
gate the Belfast Riots.
A Panic In Vienna Caused by Rumors
of War.
Madrid Greatly Excited over Rumors
of a Revolutionary Conspiracy.
Comments of the London Papers on
the Fishery Debate.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The report Of the COM
mission appointed to investigate the Belfast
riots of last summer has been made public.
The commissioners says that the royal Irish
constabulary should be maintained as a
police force in Belfast, the commander being
free from all police authority except that Of
inspector general and being responsible for
the preservation of peace.
The chief of police, the report says. should
be empowered to forbid parades with bands
of music and other public demonstrations.
He should also be empowered to increase
the forces sufficiently to enable him to deal
with riots without calling upon the police OF
other districts, a large enough military force
being maintained to prevent such necessi-
ties. The report urges the appointment of
two stipendaries instead Of borough magis-
tracy to sit in petty sessions. Their duties
should be solely judicial, and they should
have no right to meddle in the event Of
street rioting.
The report concludes by deploring the
state of feeling in Belfast and expressing
the hope that all classes will become
ashamed of the recent doings and endeavor
to end the bitter feud.
The Daily Telegraph has the following

horse or gun has been moved to the German

There was another panic in Vienna yester.

Madrid is again excited over revolution

Mrs. Logans Part in Forming. Her
Husbands Career.
Springfield Republican.


To the great public which thinks and talks
of the dead soldier, the one phase of his life
and his character that comes especially home
to them is his relation to Mrs Logan. The
dashing general, the great volunteer, is sec
ond in the mind Of women, and Of many men
when he is thought Of as the husband. II
''all mankind loves lover" as it is generally
declared to do, it honors with warm admi-
ration such tender affection and loyalty as
Logan felt for his wife. Among the many
stories that are told over and over these days
when the general comes up, and he inevitably
does in conversation, is one that illustrates
this most aptly. Itwas in the 1884 campaign,
when Logan was travelling and talking his
best and hardest. He was addressing an
Ohio audience. He had arranged to meet
his wife the following day at his next stop
ping place, and was not expecting her at all
that night But she happened to get in town
and, going straight to the meeting, slipped in
unobserved and sat down on the rear part Of
the stage Just as her husband was introduced.
He was eloquent that night and as fiery as
eloquent. Bitter were his attacks on the op-
position, in a whlrlwind Of passionate words,
hammering in his words with vehement; vio-
lent gestures He was fairly in the midst OF
one of these periods with clenched fist uplift-
ed, ready to strike, when, half turning, he
eau ght sight Of his wife, looking on, proud
and happy. The stern lines of the face re-
laxed in winning smile: the emphasizing
action of the arm was transformed into a
graceful sweep of the hand. 1t was touch
ing, II little amusing, and the audience
cheered heartily.

MAINE C. A. r.
The Annual Encampment in Session
at Bath.

BATH, Jan. 25.-The delegates to the G. A.
r. Encampment, which convened at Colum-
bian Hall this evening, come into the city by
every train, from Portland, Bangor and 9TH
er places. At noon 150 had arrived. Com
mander Lane and nearly all of the staff Off
GERS have arrived, and are quartered at the
Sagadahoc House. The council of admins
tration met at the Sagadahoc House at $50
o'clock this forenoon.
Commander-in-Chief Fairchild win arrive
here tomorrow morning, and win be the
guest of Gen. Hyde.
The Encampment convened at Columbian
Hall this evening. About 400 delegates, rep
resenting every Post in the State, were pres
ent. They were called to order by Depart
ment Commander Lane, who delivered an
address, after which the reports of the de-
partment officers were submitted.
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin is in attendance.
The election of department officers will be
held at the forenoon session tomorrow. The
opinion seems to be quite general among the
delegates tonight that the contest for depart
ment commander will be between d. ii. Hol-
man Of Lewiston, and Dick Galley of Ports
land, with the chances favorable for the
election of Galley.
The annual convention of the Womans'
National Relief Corps Department of Maine
convened at Pythian Hall this after
noon. Delegates from all the national corps
in the State were present. This evening
business meeting was held.
Among the arrivals are S. w. Lane of Au-
nd Tabn
Lamb of Livermore Falls, Senior Vice Com
mander; J. S. Cleveland of Camden, Junior
Vice Commander; VIM. S. Howse of Lewis
ton, Medical Director; A. c. Hamlin of Ban
gor, II. r. Sargent of Portland, Deputy Sher-
if of Cumberland County, j. w. Bangs of
Augusta.
The Portland delegation are talking up"
and making quite canvass for Richard Cat
ley of that city, for Department Commander.
1t is said that Mr.. Galley will not present at
the encampment owing to illness in his fam
lily. The admirers of d. Horace Holman of
Lewiston, are using their best efforts to Sc
cure the election of that gentleman. Gen.
Beal of Norway, it is said, fayors the cleo
tion of Galley. Before the beginning of to-
morrow's session it is expected that all en-
titled to seat in the encampment will be
present.
The following is an abstract of the differ
ent reports;

FISHERMEN JUBILANT.
Much Rejoicing in Gloucester Owe,
the Action of the Senate.

GLOUCESTER Jan. 25.-Never before were
there such crowds of,representative fishermen
gathered together here as this morning at the
Merchants Exchange.
When the morning papers arrived every
one was eager to grasp them to get the news
of the retaliatory measures passed by the
United States Senate yesterday, which word
was telegraphed here at late hour last night.
As soon as the news spread it appeared as
if every fisherman and vessel owner in the
city had congregated in the vicinity of the
custom house and post Office some hallooing
and cheering at the top of their voices. The
crowd that congregated made it almost i'm
possible to pass. On all sides it was said
1.-THE BILLS what we have been long looking
for, and are proud our government has awak.
ened to the emergency and will bring the
Canadians to their senses by passing retalia-
tory measures"
The general opinion expressed was that we
do not want to be on unfriendly terms with
Canada, but our fisherman want commercial
rights and treaty privileges accorded.

mense cakes of ice lying in fields show what
has been the state of things, but there has
been no overflow. The water rose over Elk
street, and is still several inches deep across
it. The cold weather, it is believed, will dry
it up soon. The flood was the worst that
has visited this city for years. Elk street
was submerged to the boundary OF the first
ward and Seneca street up to the ls east side OF
now subsidized considerably. 1t is estimated
that 1900 hundred acres were under water
